Lord of the sabbath

James Gudgeon August, 16 2025 Video & Audio
Matthew 12:10
The sermon explores the healing of a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, highlighting the Pharisees' legalistic attempts to trap Jesus and accuse him of breaking the law. It emphasizes that the Sabbath was created for humanity's benefit and that Jesus, as Lord of the Sabbath, possesses the authority to heal and demonstrate grace. The message underscores the contrast between the Pharisees' focus on external rules and Jesus' compassionate actions, ultimately revealing the true spirit of the law—to drive individuals to recognize their need for divine grace and to embrace the perfect obedience of Christ, who fulfilled the law and offers salvation through faith.
